Family History Beginners Board / Marriage of Charles WOOD and Eliza WEBB
« on: Wednesday 29 November 17 21:06 GMT (UK)  »
Hi ALL,

Help needed in trying to locate a marriage of a Charles WOOD(b.????) and Elia WEBB(b.1844 Harescombe?, Gloustershire)(both my x2 GGP).

They had 4 children, Harry Charles b.1873, Frederick(b.1876), Eliza Emily(b.1877), Sophia Rose(b.1880) and Edith Maria(b.1885). On Harry's, Eliza, Sophia and Edith's birth certifcates it states that Charles WOOD is their father and their mother is Eliza WOOD formerly WEBB.

Charles occupation was a carpenter then a carman(stated on birth certificates). The 1881 census shows Eliza the head of the family with Henry, Frederick, Eliza Emily and Sophia Rose living in Westmoor Green, Tatsfield, Surrey but no Charles. Eliza's occupation was a Laundrress.

Then in the 1891 census, Eliza is the head of the family with Frederick, Emily, Sophia and Edith, now living at 27 Forester Road, St.Saviours, Croydon , Surrey and again no Charles however, she now lists her condition as Widow.

I did find one marriage certificate for a Charles WOOD and Elizabeth WEBB in 1884 at Pains Hill Chapel(Baptists), Godstone, Surrey but their ages don't add up(too young especially Eliza) plus Eliza was born to Eliza WEBB her mother but no father registered so father sataed on this marriage cert I belive is incorrect. Eliza was baptised in 1859(full age) at Limpsfield, Surrey. Although her stated birthplace on the 1851, 1861, 1871 and 1881 is given as Hunscombe/Hurst, Gloucestershire, which I can't figure out as well, as her mother was born in Surrey to a John WEBB and Mary HALL.

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Jon

Family History Beginners Board / Elusive PARGITER Croydon Surrey
« on: Tuesday 14 February 17 20:37 GMT (UK)  »
Hello All,

Trying to establish one Henry Charles PARGITER (if that is his real name!!) who married my great grandmother Sophia Rose WOOD in Croydon register office in 1903.
They had 4 children all born Croydon and were living at 4 Cromwell Road, Croydon, Surrey on the 1911 census but by around 1914 Henry Charles had deserted his family but to where we don't know??!!
On the marriage certificate he gave his age as 27 but in the census of 1911 he had only aged 6 years, giving an age of 33 on the census and place of birth as NK(not known).
He named a Thomas Patrick PARGITER profession slater(deceased) as his father.

After sometime now I have been unable to establish anything else about him aprt from his name on all the childrens birth certificates. Family rumour has him as a bigamist, the son of a Kentish policeman but that's about it.

So any help on braking down this brick wall would be well and truly appreciated!!!

Many thanks,

Jon
